According to Dr. Inna Mesnikova, endocrinologist, a thyroid examination should be performed if a person notices a clear change in the shape of his neck.
Speaking to Pravda.Ru, the specialist points out that some diseases of the thyroid gland cause an increase in its size. Therefore, when noticing this change, a person must consult a specialist doctor to diagnose the cause. Because ignoring this change may negatively affect the functioning of other organs and systems of the body.
She says: “Thyroid hormones are responsible for many ongoing processes in the body. Therefore, any problem that occurs with these hormones can lead to disturbances in the functioning of the heart.”
According to her, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is the hormone that most indicates the functioning of this gland.
Pointing out that hypothyroidism occurs in some patients due to disturbances in its functions.
She says: “In this case, the necessary treatment must be prescribed, knowing that the condition may be caused by increased or decreased thyroid activity.”
A new warning.
